Table - best surf conditions forecast for The Reef (Haifa) over the next 16 days.
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. To be honest, this stretch of the forecast is a bit of a struggle. The Reef (Haifa) is set to stay small and messy for the next two weeks and more. The swell never really gets going, and the wind is almost always working against us. It’s one of those rare runs where the surf just doesn’t want to play ball.
Starting from Sunday the 12th, it’s flat. Tiny little 1ft to 2ft windswell coming from the WNW, but the period is a short 6 seconds, and the combined energy is just a weak 11. The wind is cross-on, or onshore, so it’s all bumpy. The water is sitting at 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only good news. The setup is a beach and reef, but with this size and chop, it’s honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th are more of the same. The swell stays under 2ft, period holds at 6-7 seconds, and the energy is still low, between 16 and 43. The wind is either cross-on or onshore, leaving the surface text-a-book choppy. It’s just poor conditions.
Wednesday the 15th sees a slight bump. The swell hits 3ft from the WNW, the period stretches to 8 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to a moderate 107. But it’s still not enough to make it worthwhile, and the wind stays cross-on. The same pattern drags on through Thursday and Friday the 16th and 17th, with the swell dropping back to 2ft and energy falling to 23.
The weekend of the 18th and 19th is similar. The swell is tiny, wind is cross or onshore, and the spots are inconsistent by nature, so you’d be lucky to find a rideable wave. The second week, from the 20th of July onwards, doesn’t offer any hope. The swell never tops 3ft, the period is mostly 6-7 seconds, and the energy stays low, hitting a moderate 102-133 at best, but the wind is always there to chop it up. The crowd picture is spotty, and with the break being inconsistent, it’s just not a good bet.
Honestly, this is a blank run. The Reef doesn’t often get a run this long with nothing to offer, but it happens. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, save the wax.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for The Reef (Haifa) may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
